CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1985

Wine 1985 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

1985 is a great vintage in Bordeaux red and in the Pauillac appellation. This excellence is confirmed at Château Latour with a well-balanced Premier Grand Cru Classé. On the nose, notes of vanilla, caramel and red fruits. On the palate, Château Latour 1985 is elegant and concentrated. A great wine that can be drunk or kept for several years because it has great aging potential.

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux
I’ve gone with the 1985 as it is fully tertiary in character but still majestic, and truly at a wonderful moment to drink, rippling with creamy raspberry and blackberry fruits, with the lingering memories of toast, soft leather and mint leaf providing a mouthwatering finish.

Intense ruby ??garnet, delicately ocher undertones, a broad rim. On the nose, delicate plum notes, subtle dark chocolate, subtle nuances of eucalyptus, and a delicate hint of caramel. On the palate, juicy sweetness, a chocolatey touch, powerful tannins, a fresh acidity structure, a long finish, present tannins, a powerful body, depth, delicate cherry jam, a delicate hint of caramel, and sweet berry fruit on the finish. A very vibrant wine that exudes a pleasant drinking experience and will provide pleasure for many years to come.

Rich and ripe wine. Dark red color with an amber edge. Loads of meat, berry and tobacco character on the nose. Very rich. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, ultraripe fruit finish. Still very fresh and young.Latour vertical.

A open-knit expresssive savoury nose. Quite open on the palate with rich coffee infused fruits. Approaching maturity. More enjoyable than 86. But not as intense as Lafite or Haut-Brion. Drinking now.

Cassis, baked red fruits, tobacco and earthy scents opened to a medium bodied wine that ends in a light, red and black fruit finish. The wine started off with a tart side and with time in the glass began to improve. Still, it’s a disappointment for Chateau Latour and the vintage.

From Latour's English period. Very dark crimson still and marked by the easy sweetness of the year. Only with time in the glass did it lose a bit of focus and become a bit leathery with a hint of rusty nails, suggesting this wine is now at its peak. It reminded some of Grenache.

Château Latour

The Château Latour is a french estate. It is ranked Premier Cru Classé in the Official Classification created in 1855.

There are 2 other Châteaux in the Pauillac appellation which also benefit from the prestigious title of 1er Cru Classé: Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild. 

Created around 1680, Château Latour's vineyard is one of the oldest in the Médoc. At the heart of the estate, the main parcel, called "l'Enclos", is made up of 47 hectares of old vines that are preciously maintained, because only they are able to give birth to the "Grand Vin". The 18 hectares of exterior plots, the vines less than 10 years old and the possibly downgraded cuvées produce the second wine of the estate, "Les Forts de Latour". The wine of Château Latour is an example of regularity regardless of the quality of the vintage. Firm, tannic and concentrated in its youth ...

Latour is the epitome of excellence in good years and bad ones. Among the greatest vintages, the most beautiful achievements of the chateau: 1920, 1929, 1949, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1970, 1982, 1990, 2000.
